An embedded type connector comprises a connector main body and at least one embedded socket stage. The connector main body is of hollow shape and has a bottom wall, a left wall, a right wall and a rear wall on inner sides thereof. The left wall and the right wall have two vertically extended insertion grooves and two projecting rails, respectively. The bottom wall has a plurality of terminal holes. The embedded socket stage comprises an insertion plate and a socket mounted on the plate and having a plurality of terminal holes. The insertion plate has dents on both sides thereof with separation same as the rails, The embedded socket stage is inserted into the main body with the dent fitted with the projecting rail and slides downward. In this way, the at least one embedded socket stage can be stacked within the main body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim:  
     
       1. An electrical connector assembly comprising: 
       a bracket of a hollow shape and having a base on a bottom side thereof and a plurality of first terminal holes extending through said base, said bracket having a bottom wall formed on a top of the base, a left wall, a right wall and a rear wall, said left wall and said right wall each having a vertical rib formed on an internal surface thereof and said first terminal holes also extending through the bottom wall;  
       at least one connector body comprising an insertion plate, a socket connector projecting from said insertion plate, and a plurality of terminals, said socket connector and said insertion plate having a plurality of second terminal holes extending therethrough, said insertion plate having vertical recesses on both sides thereof corresponding to the ribs of the bracket, said connector body being vertically inserted into and/or removed from said bracket with said recesses slidably engaging with said ribs, the terminals having a first portion vertically extending through said first terminal holes of said base and a second portion horizontally extending in said second terminal holes of said connector body.  
     
     
       2. The connector assembly as in  claim 1  further comprising a connector body fixed on a bottom end of said bracket. 
     
     
       3. The connector assembly as in  claim 1 , wherein a shield is provided to enclose said bracket, said shield is an iron shield or other metallic shield. 
     
     
       4. The connector assembly as in  claim 1 , wherein said connector body comprises a rectangular insertion plate with a height equal to half of a height of said left or right wall and a socket connector is formed at a front side of said insertion plate. 
     
     
       5. The connector assembly as in  claim 1 , wherein said connector body comprises a rectangular insertion plate with a height equal to a height of said left or right wall and two socket connectors are formed at a front side of said insertion plate. 
     
     
       6. The connector assembly as in  claim 1 , wherein said bracket is a hollow rectangular frame having openings at a front side and a top side thereof.
